Russia Says Turkey is Lying About Syrian Plane

Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said that a Syrian plane that was accosted by Turkey was carrying "electric equipment for radars".

Turkish jets forced the plane, which had been traveling from Moscow on it's way to Syria, to land in Ankara, Wednesday, and kept it for eight hours as they inspected it.

On Thursday, Turkey made their statement, releasing the information of what they found.

Now Russia says, via Lavrov, that it was not carrying any weapons or ammunition, which is what Turkey stated was found on board.

This brings just one more level of heightened tensions surrounding the Syrian civil war, with Russia basically calling Turkey liars.
